dzil is the front-end for DistZilla. As the very first page of its
documentation says, dist.ini tells it what to do, and the reason it's
recommended is because it knows where to put all of those perl lib
files that you are complaining about not knowing where to put.

If you really want to install amavis by hand, the old installation
instructions have not changed much. The only new step is that you have
to install the perl libs Amavis.pm, Mail/*.pm, and Amavis/*.pm to
wherever on your system such things go.
